House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was booed as he began a virtual appearance at former President Donald Trump's rally in Wyoming on Saturday.
Videos circulating across social media show McCarthy, a California Republican, being jeered at by Trump supporters as he made a virtual endorsement for Harriet Hagemen, a GOP candidate running for Congress against Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney.
McCarthy was recently embroiled in controversy after a leaked audio recording showed him telling Cheney and other lawmakers that he wanted Trump to resign from office after the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. capitol. The recording painted a much different picture of McCarthy's views than what he portrayed to the public at the time, causing several lawmakers and Republican groups to criticize him for lying and appearing to play both sides.

The House minority leader initially tried to deny the recording as being "totally false and wrong," and later attempted to say that his statements marked just one potential scenario being discussed at the time.
